    You'd better take the engine out, right now, before any further damage
    occurs. I'll take it off your hands if you give me fifty quid.

    That'll be fine on any old shite.

    My choice would be Homebase own brand 'value' oil.

    In that case, you've just doubled the value of the bike!

    You shouldn't have any problems.

    Now there's an idea.... I get discount on the trade prices at Booker
    cash & carry. Wonder how much I can get drums of bulk cooking oil for?

    Couple of drums of that and a shite old diesel, I'd be well in profit on
    my fuel expenses :)

    Ok, thanks. You would be surprised what these nikes go for. I reckon I
    should be abl;e to sell this for 500 quid, which is a profit of about, oh
    100% (excl insurance)

  16. It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
    drugs began to take hold. I remember (SteveH)
    saying something like:
    The rest of Wales is well ahead of you there.

    Yeah, I know that. Especially in Llanelli.

    It's just that now all the fuss has died down, and I have a source of
    clean, cheap veg. oil, it suddenly seems attractive to me.

    If you're going to pay the duty, why worry?

    Indeed. A 38 tonner full of catering drums of veg. oil was stolen from the
    M4 services at Magor. The empty lorry was found just north of Newport.
    Coincidentally, a taxi firm has its base about a mile away.

  20. It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
    What he says. Contact your local C&E orifice and ask for a duty payable
    declaration. Just fill it in once a quarter and keep it legal. It's
    still much, much cheaper than diesel. What you might do is pay what
    you'd think your duty is likely to be in advance, that way there's no
    way you can get hassled if stopped.
